A Unix-style Mandelbrot set explorer in Go.
Webdelbrot is a gopherjs web client for Godelbrot. Godelbrot is a fractal render backend designed to allow easy implementation of GUI clients.
- Designed as Unix toolkit of orthogonal command-line apps
- Provides middleware REST service to manage queuing and concurrency
- Zoom into image given pixel boundaries (no math for you! :)
- Configuration file generation tool (
configbrot) - Subdividing regions algorithm
- Arbitrary precision mode (and extensible internals)
- Greyscale is default (for integration into an external pipeline)
- Worse is better
- Few features
- Designed for extensibility (both internally, and in command-line app usage)
- Ease of client implementation
$ go get github.com/johnny-morrice/godelbrot
$ go install -tags production github.com/johnny-morrice/godelbrot...
As Godelbrot is a multiple-binary toolkit so the latter command installs all other binaries.
$ godelbrot > mandelbrot.png
Which is equivalent to:
$ configbrot | renderbrot > mandelbrot.png
configbrot generates configuration files and supports a range of options. Try
$ configbrot -help
For a persisent process try restfulbrot
$ # Terminal A
$ # Run fractal webservice
$ # Options given to configbrot here become defaults for all render clients.
$ configbrot -palette pretty | restfulbrot
$ # Terminal B
$ # Render through the webservice
$ # Customize defaults with configbrot options
$ configbrot -width 1920 -height 1080 | clientbrot > mandelbrot.png
restfulbrot supports a range of options useful for the implementors of viewing clients.
clientbrot is a command line client of restfulbrot.
$ # No configbrot needed when zooming to item stored server-side.
$ clientbrot --cycle --getrq CJRRiGU_neADTL-GWEoC -xmin 100 -xmax 350 -ymin 100 -ymax 280 > img/zoom.png
colorbrot is provided as a convenience for those who may like to recolour the output.
Webdelbrot is a web front-end for Godelbrot.
